Yes! “Every time we look away from ruthlessness, poverty, corruption, need, and suffering, we’re allowing these things to flourish and grow. Are we saying it doesn’t matter to us? We don’t care enough? Then cruelty crouches on our own doorsteps, and we are suddenly outraged. If a child is beaten and we don’t stop it, who are we to rail when the child grows into a violent man? If we fail to feed the hungry are we choosing to starve them to death?”
